The best restaurants serving British food in St Day and Lanner Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Went to a quiz and it was a great night

On looking at my previous reviews I see it is a decade since my last visit and obviously it has changed hands since then. The place is still shabby and lacking in atmosphere and there is a damp smell lingering throughout the building. Somehow the building seems wrong but I can't really explain that one away and it is not the fault of the management. Whichever way you look at it the place seems unfriendly and not helped by the various people I spoke to either. Not rude exactly but dismissive and disinterested. We had the carvery but I have to say it didn't look much like the photos on their social media page. The cauliflower cheese was nice but everything else seemed a bit tasteless. The meat was edible but I can't say that about the roast potatoes which didn't taste of anything and the bigger ones were hard in the middle so I left them. My husband also left half of his cider as he said it tasted 'off'. Interestingly my review of their carvery all those years ago also criticised the roast potatoes which were not even brown then, surely it is not that hard to roast potatoes? I appreciate different chefs were involved so maybe it is the oven. The place was not very busy which says a lot considering all the local carveries are often fully booked but maybe it was because we went quite late. There are cheaper and better carveries nearby so would I go back, possibly in another ten years time but not any time soon.
